This is a highly personal selection of Lisp packages.  Without such
important packages as grep.elc, ispell.elc, ps-print.elc, vc-*.elc,
etags.elc and ebrwose.elc (you did include etags.exe and ebrowse.exe)
and cus*.elc, this minimal package will not be very useful, at least
not to me.

OTOH, including play/*.elc sounds like a luxury, and you also included
many files that are preloaded into emacs.exe and don't need to be
carried separately (check with loadup.el).

It is not easy to come up with a minimal package that satisfies
everyone, mainly because different people prefer different features
and work with different programming languages.  I can easily enough to
list those packages that surely will NOT be needed (because the
underlying features don't work or don't make sense in the DJGPP port),
for example shell.elc and gud.elc (or fringe.elc and scroll-bar.elc
that you included for some unclear reason).  But that still leaves too
many packages that can potentially be useful to someone.  If you are
really hard-pressed for disk space, the best advice I can give is
compress all the *.elc files and those *.el files that don't have a
corresponding *.elc, and then uncompress any file whose absence causes
something to fail.  With time, your installation will stabilize around
the files you really need and use.
